Growers must farm organically for three years before they can receive an organic certificate.
In 1989, Stemilt became an early adopter in organics by transitioning a large number of acres to organic production. Over the past two decades, we have evolved into a leading supplier of organic tree fruits. Apples, pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and plumcots are all grown organically and marketed under Stemilt's Artisan Organics label. Additionally, every piece of organic fruit we produce will be grown and certified organic by one of the following:
